Q148
Directions : In each of the following questions a statement is given, followed by two conclusions. Give answer : Statement : The two countries have signed a fragile pact, but the vital sovereignty issue remains unresolved. Assumptions : I. The two countries cannot have permanent peace pact. II. The two countries may become hostile again after a short spell of time.
A.
Only assumption I is implicit
B.
Only assumption II is implicit
AnswerC.
Either I or II is implicit
D.
Neither I nor II is implicit
E.
Both I and II are implicit
Answer: Option B
Solution
Answer: Option B
Solution:
From the fact that the present pact is not a lasting one, the possibility of a permanent pact cannot be ruled out. So, I is not implicit. The statement mentions that the present pact is a 'fragile' one and the vital sovereignty issue still remains unresolved. So the same issue may rise again in the future. Thus, II is implicit.
